Petroleum Eng/Sci / For a LPG conference
English term or phrase: Refreshment Break
Hola a todos!

Este término aparece en la agenda de una presentación o conferencia sobre GLP en México. El traductor sugiere "Receso para despejarse", pero no me parece correcto.

Refreshment breaks usually provide beverages and possibly a snack. They also allow attendees to get up, stretch, visit the restroom, call the office, check email, or move to another meeting room for the next breakout session.

A refreshment break is an energy break. It is intended to refresh and sharpen attention. It also helps alleviate boredom that tends to develop when guests are engaged in tedious business activities during the day...

Será correcto "Descanso para refrigerio"? O solamente "Descanso"? Muchísimas gracias de antemano!

Explanation:
es solo una sugerencia porque las opciones son varias, pero yo suelo usar pausa
para el café, pausa para un refrigerio o pausa a secas, que es lo que prefiero.
